Jimbo MacKellar - Before The War

[jimbo MacKellar]

This was the last song I wrote as a Sangrett. I think the writing on the wall was plain to see...

Searching for information about the lonely days
I'm looking for inspiration in my own private ways
I know what's coming and I can't put off the fact
It's today...

And now I'm looking for
A warning sign or an open door
A path to where I was before
Before the war

Everything has changed suddenly
I'm looking at examples of what I used to be
I see a picture that I almoost recognise
I see forgiveness and compassion in those eyes

And now I'm looking for
A warning sign or an open door
A path to where I was before
Before the war

I'm thinking a lot, recently
Why can't we do anything decently?
All I'm asking is some dignity at least
I don't need your pity
Just some measure of release

So now I'm looking for
A warning sign or an open door
A path to where I was before
Before the war

fab jim, dont remember this one but its a belter, sounds like a bit of distortion on the drums, maybe my laptop speakers tho. get the lyrics up so i can read the juicy details.

[Hook]

Sounds good brother, cool tune.
Rock on!

[Oldrottenhead]

[Krasi]

Another great song from you!!!
I love those beautiful and fantastically performed harmonies!!

[jimbo MacKellar]

Once again- thank y'all! The drums on this track were from a Hohner Autoharp and flogged so they are a bit "distressed". I like a bit of lo-fi occasionally!

Can anyone tell me how to upload a cover? I think we need a break from all this angst

[OsCKilO]

Brilliant song!!!

Current  bands everywhere have stuff on my Soundcloud, Media Whores  have a MySpace  and The Last Reunion are still rewriting after losing our frontman. You can hear the old stuff by checking Geranium  Lake on MySpace. Curtains are in the wash at present...
